## 1. Introduction
Welcome to Daily_verse_reflect_and_pray ("the App", "we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Android application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

## 2. Information We Collect
### 2.1 Information You Provide
- **AI Chat Messages:** When you interact with Pastor Pablo (our AI spiritual guide), the text messages you type are sent to the Groq API to generate responses. These messages are not stored by us on any server.
- **Notification Preferences:** Your notification on/off setting and chosen reminder time are stored locally on your device only.
- **Saved Verses:** Bible verses you choose to save are stored locally on your device only.
### 2.2 Information Collected Automatically

- `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` — to send daily verse reminders
- `RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` — to restore your scheduled reminder after a device reboot
- `INTERNET` — to connect to the AI service (Groq API)
- `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` — to check connectivity before making API calls
- `VIBRATE` / `WAKE_LOCK` — to deliver notifications reliably
- `SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` / `USE_EXACT_ALARM` — to deliver reminders at your chosen time
We do **not** collect your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, camera, microphone, or any other personal data.

## 4. Third-Party Services
### 4.1 Groq API
When you use the AI Guide (Pastor Pablo) or request AI guidance on any screen, your message text is transmitted to **Groq, Inc.** to generate a response. Groq processes this data according to their own privacy policy, available at [https://groq.com/privacy-policy](https://groq.com/privacy-policy).
We do not send any personally identifiable information to Groq — only the spiritual question or message you type.
### 4.2 No Analytics or Advertising
We do not use any analytics services (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics), advertising networks, or crash reporting tools that collect personal data.
---
## 5. Data Storage and Security
- All user preferences and saved verses are stored **locally on your device** using Android DataStore.
- No user data is transmitted to our servers because we do not operate any backend servers.
- AI messages are transmitted over HTTPS (encrypted in transit) to the Groq API.
- We do not store, log, or have access to your AI conversations.

## 6. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

## 7. Your Rights and Choices
Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control:
- **Delete app data:** Go to Android Settings → Apps → Daily_verse_reflect_and_pray → Storage → Clear Data. This removes all saved verses and preferences.
- **Revoke permissions:** Go to Android Settings → Apps → Daily Verse & Prayer → Permissions to revoke notification or other permissions at any time.
- **Uninstall:** Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored data from your device.
---
## 8. Data Retention
- Local data (preferences, saved verses) is retained until you clear app data or uninstall the App.
- We do not retain any data on external servers.
- AI messages are not stored by us after the response is delivered.

## 9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
